Michaela Gray has been appointed as an associate director in MHP Comms’ crisis and risk team to advise clients on crisis communications and head up the broadcast media training programme. Ms Gray has worked as a TV presenter and journalist in Australia, in radio, and latterly as an associate director at Golin where she was in charge of media training and issues management, and delivery of programmes for household names like Worldpay, Cadbury, and Sainsbury’s.
Ms Gray said: “With an enviable roster of global brands, MHP is cementing its reputation for clever and creative crisis management. I’m thrilled to join the team during this exciting period of growth and I look forward to tackling the complex challenges our clients face.”
MHP’s head of crisis and risk, Barnaby Fry, said: “In the Networked Age, where social media can destroy an organisation’s reputation, crisis communications has never been more important. Michaela’s broadcast background, combined with her experience advising clients on their crisis protocols, will be of enormous value to clients and colleagues alike.”
